Convergence candidate regions (CCR) for selection signals identified for dairy sheep.

A CCR region was defined when overlapping selection regions identified by the genetic differentiation analysis (in at least two breed pairs), averaged for a 9-SNP window size (FST), and by at least one of the two heterozygosity-based analysis methodologies (in at least two breeds): observed heterozygosity, averaged for a 9-SNP window size (ObsHtz), and regression analysis, considering a 10-Mb bracket size (Regression). *For Regression results, this indicates the closest marker to the Start/End position.
